Lots of purslane is available for the taking this week. Photo by h-bomb.

After all the regular rain we’ve had all spring, we’ve entered a bit of a hot, dry spell. Getting things enough water has proven challenging, but on the plus side the weeds aren’t growing quite as fast. We’re steadily approaching summer crop abundance, though this week might be a bit light as the spring crops have mostly finished and the summer crops (except the squash) haven’t really kicked in yet.

I very much hope to have a full share, but if it seems a bit short please forgive us — it will be made up and then some later in the season. Some things you might see this week: beans, beets, broccoli, onions, squash, chard, and/or collards.  There will also be a bunch of edible weeds available as extra if you wish to help yourself, but not counted as the share — mainly amaranth (also known as callaloo) and purslane.

Stay cool!
